Have you used soap flakes ?

[angeldelight]

Have any of you ever used soap flakes for any craft work ?

I know for a box of them they are about a pound from Tesco or Sainsbury but im not sure how much I should use, should I use warm water or cold water

I did hear that cold water is for making a picture, ie maybe a snow theme , snow man
And the warm water is for making maybe a model ie snowman

Can anyone help ?

The only one I've ever seen used was at playgroup, it is for Snowmen:

One cup of soap flakes, water, mixing bowl, egg beater and an out line of a snowman on colored paper or card.

Directions: Mix the soap flakes and water in a bowl until frothy and thick. (children assist or watch) Each child receives a drawing of a snowman. A little of the white soap mix is spooned on it. The child then spreads it all over the outline.

They definitely used cold water.
